Waterproof charger from Exide

Exide Technologies has produced a waterproof battery charger. The EBC waterproof charger can be used on all open vented lead acid batteries from 15Ah up to 75Ah and is suitable for a wide range of applications, including boats.

The charger provides a 5A voltage-controlled maintenance charge, so there's no chance of overcharging or damage if the battery is left on charge over a long period of time, says Exide.

The mains-sensed charging output ensures there's no battery voltage drain if the mains electricity supply is interrupted and a series of indicator lamps show whether charge is in progress, complete, or if the unit is incorrectly connected.

The charger, which weighs 1.8kg and measures 140mm x 95mm x 135mm, is housed in a polypropylene plastic case that incorporates a built-in carrying handle and a fixing bracket.
